The ridiculously complex combination of exploits-within-exploits that make this iOS jailbreak possible have consumed thousands of hours of brain-power & effort from a legion of world-renowned hackers, several of whom have been working diligently on this project since the dual-core A5 processor was unveiled by Apple last March.

To use it, just download the Absinthe app / program. Launch it, and click “jailbreak.” You need to be on iOS 5.0 or iOS 5.0.1.
